Register on October 09, 2018 (FR 83,
50676) and allowed 60-days for public
comment. Four public comments were
received, and responses were sent. The
comments referenced the challenges of
including the Moving to Work (MTW)
Supplement in the Annual Pubic
Housing Agency (PHA) Plan process for
PHAs that join MTW under the 2016
Appropriations Act (i.e., MTW
Expansion) as well as certain changes
proposed to the original PHA Plan
templates and certifications. Due to the
MTW Supplement undergoing
significant revisions, all references to it
has been withdrawn from the collection
for now and will be added again at a
later time. The purpose of this notice is
to allow an additional 30 days for public
comment on the original PHA Plan
Templates and certifications alone.
The PHA Plan was created by section
5A of the United States Housing Act of
1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437c–1). There are two
different PHA Plans: The Five-Year Plan
and the Annual Plan. The Five-Year
Plan describes the agency’s mission,
long-range goals and objectives for
achieving its mission over a five-year
period. The Annual PHA Plan is a
comprehensive guide to PHA policies,
programs, operations, and strategies for
meeting local housing needs and goals
each fiscal year.
The PHA Plans informs HUD,
residents, and the public of the PHA’s
goals, programs, and activities for
serving the housing needs of low, very
low-income, and extremely low-income
families and its strategy for addressing
those needs. This information helps
hold PHAs accountable to HUD,
residents, and the local community for
how PHAs intend to spend their
funding and operate their programs.
Also, PHA Plans allow HUD to review
the PHA’s proposed changes in the
administration and operation of HUDfunded housing programs.
In July 2016, HUD revised the
collection in response to public
comments urging HUD to return to
earlier multiple versions of the PHA
Plan template and certifications by PHA
type (e.g., standard, small, high
performer, Housing Choice Voucher/
HCV-only) instead of a ‘‘One-Size Fits
All’’ form. Also, HUD added a section
to accommodate new requirements for
PHAs under the Affirmatively
Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) Rule, to
reflect other public comments from
2013, and implement a minor change
made in late 2014. OMB approved these
changes, but the 2016 versions of the
forms were not made public due to the
Department’s review of AFFH Rule
implementation activities.

Jkt 250001

With this current proposed
information collection, HUD intends to
further modify the 5-Year and Annual
PHA Plan Templates, as well as the
accompanying certification forms in the
following manner:
(1) Revise the instructions provided
on items related to the AFFH Rule,
reflecting that, until HUD approves a
revised Assessment of Fair Housing
(AFH) Tool and template, PHAs would
not be specifying fair housing strategies
actions in their PHA Plans. Instead,
PHAs would rely on their corresponding
community’s Analysis of Impediments
(AI) to fair housing until choice and
undertake activities to support their
civil rights certification specified in
PHA Plan regulations promulgated prior
to August 17, 2015. (See Federal
Register Notice 5173–N–17 (May 23,
2018).)
(2) Revise PHA certifications to bring
them up to date with HUD program and
AFFH requirements, and to give PHAs
an optional blank answer section to
explain how they are not able to certify
compliance with civil rights authorities
and certain specific requirements.
(3) Revise the introductory text and
signature blocks on certification forms
to distinguish the PHA Executive
Director (ED) and Board Chairperson.
In addition, it should be noted that,
due to the de-coupling of reporting on
Capital Fund Program activities and
plans from PHA Plan submissions in
2016, (i.e., Form HUD–50075.1 and
Form HUD–50075.2 Capital Fund
Annual Statement/Performance and
Evaluation Report and 5-Year Action
Plan forms), the burden hours
associated with these two forms (10,070)
as reflected in the estimate under OMB
no. 2577–0226 were removed.
Finally, revisions to the reporting
burden reflect a reduction in the total
number of, active PHAs. The number of
active public housing agencies has
changed from 3,819 to 3,780 since the
last approved information collection.
The number of PHAs can fluctuate due
to many factors, including but not
limited to performance scoring, the
merging of two or more PHAs or the
termination of a PHA’s public and other
assisted housing programs due to
conversion under the Rental Assistance
Demonstration (RAD).
Respondents (i.e., affected public):
Local, Regional and State Body
Corporate Politic Public Housing
Agencies (PHAs) Governments.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
3,780.
Estimated Number of Responses:
4,838.40.
Frequency of Response: 1.28.
Average Hours per Response: 2.70.
